The scent of rain upon the breeze Fills my anguished heart with ease As it gently sways the trees The scent of rain can please The scent of rain I smell it now It cools the earth and me somehow Opens up the smallest flower Rain's scent upon my brow The scent of rain as summer ends Reminds me of my fallen friends It gives a hint of winter sends Rain scent peace descends The scent of rain, will still my fears That I've collected over years Reminding me that God sheds tears Rain sent healing nears Many scents have I known Through some the paths of God are shown And I can see my pathway home When scent of rain is blown Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

The scent of rain I smell it now It cools the earth and me somehow I could feel this and I'm not one of those who appreciates rain but this I liked! |

nakdthoughts, thank you, I too love the smell of rain - among other things. Thanks for saying you liked this, it was morning whimsy for me. Marshalzu, thanks for stopping by and reading. RS Evans, I was going to write heaven scent, but I didn't want the words to be trite and cliched, which I do well btw.

Keth beloved sister of my heart and collector of my hearts dreams Rain Scent is quite probably the loveliest poem I've ever read and I mean it. You are inarguably the best writer of hearts tears, better than anyone I know. You darling heart write PURE MAGIC and that's no lie. YOU are utterly utterly utterly superb. And I know this, not because I'm blinded by love, before then, before i knew you, I read your writing and knew that you were a great writer. Knowing your spirit as I do, I KNOW, you can and do shine like the sparkle from a precious jewel. Others write well amazingly well, you shine out as a star. Biased I may be but anyone reading this jewel will agree with me   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

This is a lovely poem, Keth... The scent of rain, will still my fears That I've collected over years Reminding me that God sheds tears Rain sent healing nears I am one of those wierd people who prefers cloudy and rainy days to bright sunny ones, and I too, love the scent of rain... There is just something so healing about a gentle rain, even a not so gentle rain. ~lots of rainy hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Maree, thank you so much. Lyra, I love rain to whether it's a summer shower or a drenching downpour, or a magnificent thunderstorm I love them all...I'm one one the people who don't have the sense to come in out of the rain...or maybe I do have the sense ethome, if I connect God and nature well, it's because I see God's hand through all of nature.

Keth what a special submission! awww.....i think i grasp your meaning of purification, renewal, and just outright wonder of one of the most simple of nature's treasure-gifts. Please, have a lovely Easter and love on each relative you can get ahold of! tSR/Jeff |
